As an employer who hires nothing but Americans and pay all my required state/fed'l payroll taxes it makes me furious when I see a multitude of employers in various industries openly breaking federal law by hiring illeglas and EVADING numerous taxes while aiding and abetting illegal immigration in the process. Additionally, they get to pay minimal wages to illegals knowing full well the taxpayers will get socked to supplement the employees living expenses. Having a system such as this where some employers are above the law while others have to toe the line is just another reason we're slowly becoming a banana republic instead of a constitutional republic......in other words we're committing national suicide.

I find it sad that there are so many concrete reasons like yours posted here to explain why we see this as a serious problem, and yet I see few replies that attempt to justify or deny the problems we've posted. Most are just attacks on our motives or certain proposed solutions.

In fact, many replies are like Jesse Jackson's calling anyone who doesn't support his wish for more handouts, etc. "racist".

Maybe there are some who are guilty of racism, but most of us are giving objective reasons that deserve more respect.

Remember, racists are not the only ones blinded by bias...
Some on the other side are in denial or dissembling due to a misguided fear of criticizing Bush (who I stand behind on most everything myself) at all. Convincing others to vote for your man is easier though, if you show that credibility and integrity are priorities.

On the other hand, hiring illegals is also "welfare" for their employers. So I assume some here might be biased in that they are per$onally benefiting from charging much of their payroll overhead to the taxpayers.

Anyway... The solution is debatable, but the fact that we need one should not be brushed aside with personal attacks, IMHO.
